Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

Li Bowen had a pretty good impression of Li. She was pretty and spoke generously and without any shyness.

Moreover, despite the family tradition of the old Yan family, Yu Li did not have a falling out with Yan Jiecheng. It can be seen that she is a very down-to-earth woman. It's just that in the later period, she may have been led astray by the family tradition of the old Yan family and became calculating.

If he had followed me, that situation probably wouldn't have happened.

"Bowen, what are you thinking about? Do you agree to what your Aunt Wang said?" Seeing that he was in a daze, the aunt asked quickly.

"Oh, let me think about what she looks like! Hehehe, her name is Yu Li, right? She's pretty. Thank you for taking care of her, Aunt Wang!" I've thought about it. Why should I refuse? Anyway, for the sake of the Li family, I have to have at least two in the future. I can't let go of a good one now.

As for whether it would offend the old Yan family, that was not something Li Bowen considered at all. A girl from one family is sought after by hundreds of families. It doesn't mean you can't date someone else just because you've dated someone else. If things really get out of hand, the old uncle and aunt will deal with it. As for Yan Jiecheng, he really didn't take him seriously. Not to mention that his fighting ability was higher than Yan Jiecheng's, the God of War in the courtyard was still on his side. Beating Yan Jiecheng would be like a piece of cake.

If I were to challenge someone to a fight and call the fox brothers from the village, I would definitely sweep them.

"Okay, as long as you're willing. It's too late today, let's do it next Sunday. I'll bring Yu Li over to introduce her to the family, and you two can chat too!"

How could it be possible on Sunday? He was still in the village at that time. Li Bowen quickly said, "Auntie Wang, Sunday is really not possible. I will go to the countryside to purchase on Wednesday and will not be back for a week. How about this, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after work in the afternoon, you can come to your house or I can go to your place to meet you?"

Matchmaker Wang thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with the girl and her family. Let's tentatively schedule it for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. I'll let you know tomorrow if it's okay."

"Thank you. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back from the countryside!" Li Bowen understood the rule that you have to promise some benefits before asking someone to run errands.

"Don't be so polite!" Although Matchmaker Wang said this, her expression was full of smiles.

After sitting for another ten minutes, Matchmaker Wang stood up and said goodbye.

After sending her away, the family returned to the house. The old lady told Li Bowen about what happened today and then asked, "Have you met Yu Li? She's pretty good?"

"Yu Li had told Yan Jiecheng, who lives next door, about that before. I met her and had a chat with her. She was quite generous in her words!" Li Bowen nodded.

"Well, how about comparing with Gong Ermei? You go out with her today, do you feel okay?"

Li Bowen compared the two carefully and said, "How can I tell the difference? I've only met Gong Ermei once, and I've only met Yu Li once. But Yu Li is prettier!"

"You, just look at the face. You have to live a life in the future. You can't just look at whether she is pretty or not, you have to see whether she can live a good life!" The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said earnestly.

Li Bowen nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, don't worry, Auntie, I know, let's look at them all first and choose the one that's good!"

The next day, the matchmaker Wang came with the news. Yu Li agreed. After get off work on Tuesday afternoon, the two of them would meet at Matchmaker Wang's house first. If they felt it was a good match, they would wait until Li Bowen was at home on Sunday and then come to his house officially.

So, on Tuesday afternoon, Li Bowen went to Yueshengzhai to buy two boxes of snacks and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to send cards. The snacks were for Wang the matchmaker, and the cards were a small gift for Yu Li when they met. He arrived at Wang the matchmaker's house before Yu Li got off work.

I didn't have to wait too long. More than half an hour after the end of get off work, Yu Li arrived. It was obvious that she had dressed up before coming and changed her clothes. She was wearing a floral long skirt, a pair of small leather shoes, and a pigtail, which made her look playful and cute.

After meeting Li Bowen, Yu Li became a little reserved, not as generous as the last time they met. After all, the situation was different. Before they were just strangers, and now they were on a blind date.

"Hello, Comrade Yu Li. We have met before. Now let me formally introduce myself. My name is Li Bowen. I am 21 years old this year. I work as a buyer in the logistics department of a steel mill. I am currently a level 6 clerk and earn 43 yuan a month."

"Hello, I'm the same age as you, 21 years old. I'm an ordinary worker in the First Textile Factory, and I get paid 29 yuan!"

Li Bowen nodded: "That's good too. It doesn't matter how much I earn, it's a formal job. Anyway, I don't rely on women to support the family. If we get together, we can be a dual-income family!"

It was just a matter of making small talk, but when she said this, Yu Li's face turned red, and she lowered her head with her chin touching her chest. If there was no object blocking her, she would probably be able to walk down. Li Bowen was confused, what's wrong, I didn't say anything! This girl must have a very rich imagination.

Matchmaker Wang giggled and covered her mouth. Seeing Li Bowen's expression, she helped them out and said, "This can be considered as an official acquaintance. It seems that both of you are quite satisfied. My place is small, and I heard that you young people are all about watching movies now. Bowen, why don't you take Yu Li to see a movie? It's a good opportunity for you two to chat alone!"

Li Bowen thought about it and it was true. How awkward it would be to just chat like this! At least the movie should have sound.

So he stood up and invited Li: "Let's go to the movies. There's a new movie coming out soon!"

Yu Li nodded and followed Li Bowen out the door.

When we got to the cinema, we bought the tickets and entered the theater with ease. Li Bowen was familiar with this route! He had watched the movie once with Li Mei and the nurse before, and today, he was accompanying Yu Li for the third time. Li Bowen almost vomited after watching it. Anyone who watched it several times in a row would have the same feeling.

But Yu Li still watched with great interest.

After the lights went out, Li Bowen, who was already very familiar with the plot of the movie, had no intention of watching the movie. Instead, he tilted his head to look at Yu Li's profile. Her long eyelashes and big eyes blinked in the light, and her expression kept changing with the plot of the movie. It was quite interesting.

Yu Li, who was concentrating on the movie at first, felt uncomfortable. She turned around and met Li Bowen's eyes. She hurriedly dodged and whispered, "Just watch the movie!"

Li Bowen moved closer and said, "The movie isn't as good as you!" Then he quietly reached out from underneath and hooked his finger around Yu Li's little finger.

People's sense of touch becomes extremely sensitive in a dark environment. As soon as her fingers touched, Yu Li trembled and tried to dodge quickly, but Li Bowen's fingers hooked tightly around hers and she failed. Now both of them had no intention of watching the movie anymore. In the dark theater, their hands slowly intertwined.

By the end of the movie, Li Bowen could feel the sweat from Yu Li's hands in his palms.

When the lights turned on, Yu Li hurriedly withdrew her hand from Li Bowen's, stood up and walked quickly towards the exit.

Li Bowen stood up slowly. Someone patted his shoulder from behind. Turning around, he saw a young couple of similar age. The boy was giving him a thumbs-up.
